Keller Fence North is so pleased to announce the formation of our full custom division. Keller has always had the ability to create some really amazing custom fence solutions. We have finally taken that ability and invested into new products, tools and resources in order to better serve our customer’s needs.

“The problem wasn’t that we struggled with building really modern and amazing types of fence. The problem was the interruption it would cause to our regular operation.” said Keller president Caley Emerson on Tuesday.

We sell on the principal of providing the highest quality of material installed by professionals and backed by the longest warrantee. Something our customers have come to expect from Keller Fence. Custom Fences, create longer lead times for custom coating and increase labor time which caused a sizable disruption in the regular system. It was, in some cases, adding weeks to the wait time for our regular customers. That is simply not acceptable.

We set out to form new alliances, train our estimating staff and take the custom types of fence completely out of the regular system. Now we are confident that we can take the extra time necessary for the custom side without any interruptions to the rest of our employees and customers.

In Landmark Decision, Keller Fence North Extends Warrantee to 10 Full Years!

5.18.18 - "It really was an easy choice to make, after spending a measurable amount of time this past winter crunching the numbers and tracking our success ratings vs the national industry, I guess to even say I had a choice to make seems like a stretch." Keller Vice President Justin Holm exclaimed Friday. "We really focus on the conditions that our fence has to survive in, well as what its purpose is and as a result we have very few call backs, even measured over a 10 year period"

That reality that Justin was referring to is something Keller North customers have known for the better part of our 26 year history. Keller Fence is simply the best fence used in the best applications that money can buy.

"Its kind of been our secret over the years, even when I worked here as a teenager for Steve." President Caley Emerson said quietly. "Everyone is so focused on the what side of the industry. What kind of fence is it? We have always spent more time on the "where did it come from" (Keller uses ONLY American Made material) and how do we install it so it will last."

All companies have access to most of the same material Keller does. But do YOU know where it came from and are they going to stand behind it for years and years to come? Call us today to learn more!

UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE ALL EMPLOYEES SHALL ADHERE TO THE FOLLOWING POLICY CHANGES

Sick employees MUST stay home:

Employees who have symptoms of acute respiratory illness are to stay home and not come to work until they are free of fever (100.4° F [37.8° C] or greater using an oral thermometer), signs of a fever, and any other symptoms for at least 24 hours, without the use of fever-reducing or other symptom-altering medicines (e.g. cough suppressants). Employees should notify their supervisor and stay home if they are sick.
We no longer require a healthcare provider’s note for employees who are sick with acute respiratory illness to validate their illness or to return to work, as healthcare provider offices and medical facilities may be extremely busy and not able to provide such documentation in a timely way.
Employees are permitted to stay home to care for a sick family member(s). Employees exposed to acute respiratory illness, are also required to stay home from work for 14 additional days.

Separate sick employees:

Employees who appear to have acute respiratory illness symptoms (i.e. cough, shortness of breath) upon arrival to work or become sick during the day will be separated from other employees and be sent home immediately. Sick employees should cover their noses and mouths with a tissue when coughing or sneezing (or an elbow or shoulder if no tissue is available).

Staying home when sick, respiratory etiquette and hand hygiene is required to be followed by all employees:

Employees MUST clean their hands often with an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains at least 60-95% alcohol, or wash their hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. Soap and water should be used preferentially if hands are visibly dirty.
Soap and water and alcohol-based hand rubs are available in the workplace. Ensure that adequate supplies are maintained. Place hand rubs in multiple locations or in conference rooms to encourage hand hygiene. It is everyone’s responsibility to report low levels of hand sanitizer and soap.
Visit the coughing and sneezing etiquette and clean hands webpage at https://www.cdc.gov/handwashing/index.html for more information.

Perform routine environmental cleaning:

Routinely clean all frequently touched surfaces in the workplace, such as workstations, countertops, and doorknobs. Use the cleaning agents that are usually used in these areas and follow the directions on the label.
No additional disinfection beyond routine cleaning is recommended at this time.
Use disposable wipes so that commonly used surfaces (for example, doorknobs, keyboards, remote controls, desks) can be wiped down by employees before each use.
All material and supplies that enter onto Keller Fence property MUST be disinfected.

Before traveling employees need to take certain steps:

Check the CDC’s Traveler’s Health Notices for the latest guidance and recommendations for each country to which you will travel. Specific travel information for travelers going to and returning from China, and information for aircrew, can be found at on the CDC website.
Advise employees to check themselves for symptoms of acute respiratory illness before starting travel and notify their supervisor and stay home if they are sick.
Employees who become sick while traveling or on temporary assignment understand that they should notify their supervisor and should promptly call a healthcare provider for advice if needed.
If outside the United States, sick employees MUST follow the company policy for obtaining medical care or contact a healthcare provider or overseas medical assistance company to assist them with finding an appropriate healthcare provider in that country. A U.S. consular officer can help locate healthcare services. However, U.S. embassies, consulates, and military facilities do not have the legal authority, capability, and resources to evacuate or give medicines, vaccines, or medical care to private U.S. citizens overseas.

Additional Measures in Response to Currently Occurring Sporadic Importations of the COVID-19:

Employees are not allowed to touch customers and must keep a 6’ social contact distance from customers at all times.
Employees must wash or sanitize hands before and after visiting with customers.
Employees are encouraged to use electronic communication whenever possible to interact with customers and each other.
Please encourage customers to use credit card payment whenever possible.
Employees who are well but who have a sick family member at home with COVID-19 should notify their supervisor and refer to CDC guidance for how to conduct a risk assessment of their potential exposure.
If an employee is confirmed to have COVID-19, employers should inform fellow employees of their possible exposure to COVID-19 in the workplace but maintain confidentiality as required by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Employees exposed to a co-worker with confirmed COVID-19 should refer to CDC guidance for how to conduct a risk assessment of their potential exposure.

These policies have been established based on the most current information available on the CDC website. (www.CDC.gov)

It is imperative that all of these steps are followed every day until further notice not only for the protection of the employees of Keller Fence Company North, but also for the safety of our customers, suppliers and vulnerable adults that make up or friends and family.
